"BRATS" are not just military - and they're not just American. Although the documentary features former U.S. DoD dependents, what they say and feel applies to all BRATS - international military brats and other "third culture kids" (foreign service, corporate, government, missionary, NGO, oil, etc.). Our similarities far outweigh our differences - and that's the beauty of it!

If you're hosting a screening, or want to host one, let us know.

Don't hold back. Tell us how you really feel!

We need help "getting the word out" about BRATS. If you have an idea or contact, let us know.

Sad... confused... angry that your mom or dad (or both) are deployed? You're not alone. A lot of us have walked in your shoes. If you have a question, let us know. But remember, if you're under 18, PLEASE DO NOT POST YOUR NAME, ADDRESS, OR CONTACT INFORMATION. This is for your own protection. Be careful!

Learn something that helped you cope as a BRAT during the Vietnam War? Pass it on to the Iraq-era BRATS, particularly the National Guard BRATS, who aren't used to the BRAT lifestyle. We're here to help each other. Please keep it constructive.

Looking back, what could your parents, teachers, counselors, coaches, or the the institution they work for have done to make your life better?

Is there something you wish your parents, teachers, counselors, coaches, or the institution they work for knew about you? What would you like to see more of? Less of? What do you need that you're not getting? Don't be funny, folks. We're trying to be constructive.

Are you suffering from conditions and/or illnesses you think are related to your service as a BRAT? Let us know, so we can start comparing notes.

There is abuse in every sector of society - physical, emotional, and sexual. If you know of resources for BRATS who are experiencing or have experienced this kind of abuse, please let us know.

Are you a BRAT journalist? Because we're a small nonprofit, we need your help getting the word out about the BRATS film and other brats-related groups. Please let us know!

Do you have a favorite saying, song, poem, or picture that expresses what you feel? Post it here.

Tell us your favorite stories.

Know a BRAT who's gone "above and beyond" to make the world a better place? Tell us about them!

It's hard out there being a writer, artist, or musician. It's doubly hard when you have no "hometown network" to help you. This is our "hometown network." If you're a BRAT writer, artist, or musician (or know of someone who is) struggling to get your work out, let us know!

How did you feel when they took your ID card away? When you returned "home" after living overseas? When you had to go to your first civilian school or college?
